If you thought learning was confined to the classroom, think again. We love what we do in English Language Teaching (ELT) at Pearson, because we get to work in lots of different types of classrooms around the world, from Asia to Latin America, from everyday state schools to Private Language Schools (PLS). Everyday we look at ways of combining content, assessment, technology and services to help all teachers and students across the world teach, learn and practise their English skills. Take a look at our Catalogue, Classroom Resources, ELTCommunity and Professional Development area - all designed to support teachers and help them enjoy their work. We believe in all kinds of learning, delivered at any time, in any place through materials of the highest quality, enabling you to achieve your English learning and teaching goals.

And we believe the best way to get fluent in a foreign language is to put in time exposing yourself to that language as it's actually used by native speakers. Here, we've pulled together a library of foreign language content for you to work with, starting with classic literature from all over the world. You can work on your Italian by reading Dante's Inferno, or your Spanish by reading Don Quijote, or choose any other language and learn it from the best writers that language has to offer. Dive in to the library to start learning"
